Technology

"Be Useful"

My Tech background includes development, architecture, mathematics, leading teams, marketing and strategy

If you have made an Interac purchase, bought a lottery ticket, been to a hospital or used your passport to cross a border – you have probably used my products.

I’ve been responsible for security and development work that protects hundreds of millions of people. Large-scale systems of goverment and high-end corporations located across 80+ countries in high-security environments.

I’m always fascinated with researching and understanding things at a deeper level. My work into secure networks was previously recognized by OCIPEP for outstanding research in security.

I’ve lead teams that achieved a series of notable “Firsts”: First issued high-security ePassport, First issued Drivers Licence with printed digital signature and First general-public Mobile Drivers License (craft beer purchases with your phone!)
